As a reader, I like it. It might nudge me to subscribe to a few more newsletters even if I don’t plan to read all emails, just to see Notes from that author. Sure, I won’t subscribe to hundreds of newsletters, but a few dozen might create a

This happened last month too, a data analysis of Who Is Hiring one or two days after it is published with a pessimistic conclusion. Then, one week later, you realize the number of posts is back to an ok level (even improving)

> ”If there is value in what you write then the readers will be there” I don’t think that’s true anymore. Of course, it depends on how you define “value”, but I think having something “special” to share not always attract readers. Cont

Omer Moav mentions in a recent Econtalk episode how you can say that the emergence of the state in human society can be considered the transition from road bandits to organized crime. https://www.econtalk.org/omer-moav-on-th

I think Apple is on the right track. A lot of good shows, a few great ones. Severance is probably the one that might be their Sopranos.

If the differentiation is better scalability, it only matters when there is scale. That is not a reason for a user to choose AT over Mastodon. I don’t think Blue Sky’s app is more decentralized that Mastodon currently. So I interpret your p

Script was probably run too early to be comparable to older posts, right? March Who is hiring thread is now close to 500 total comments (guessing around 20 of those are not job posts?)

I agree they are a greedy, reckless, exploitative corporation. I do think though their product is a net positive to society, even a net positive to the drivers class in general (taxi is basically mafia around here and Uber driving was used

Uber, at least in my city (São Paulo), has been truly disruptive and made my life significantly better (since I don’t own a car or even know how to drive)

I remember having a bit of hope that an easy win could be he making changes to regain trust from developers and make Twitter a more dynamic platform with a more open API. Turns out, he did exactly the opposite and led to even more distrust

Too early to tell any of those things. The layoffs on sales might make the business worse in the mid term. The layoffs on product and engineering might make the product worse, even obsolete in the mid term. There is absolutely no way to tel

I think that’s why some people really push it. There a myriad of reasons for not wanting to dance. A lot of them can be overcame (shame, fear of embarrassment, lack of knowledge how one would properly dance, doubt that it will be an enjoyab

Substack doesn’t curate their content. Any blog platform will have questionable content, but I don’t see that as a reason to ignore all content ever published on that platform by anyone.

People were worried that if we created an AI on our image, it would be a belligerent entity. But we did create an AI on our image, and it’s a bullshitter.

I disagree that a regular 1x programmer is comparable to someone slacking off on a university group assignment. I prefer the sports analogy, where there are some stars with disproportional impact in the outcome of games, but who work with o

I do agree with your opinions and I’ve met 10x programmers who are also nice people. But I think there is resistence to the idea of 10x and a natural sympathy that 10x is a myth because of a few types of 10x - The one who is 10x at the expe

I don’t know if there is value for others, but, for me, there is probably negative value in doing what you described. I’d much rather not talk with anyone about Hume or equivalent, than talk to an AI mimicking them.

I agree and I would suggest trying small companies or very early stage startups (with less than 10 Software developers). You get to program a lo, but not all goods though. A lot of context change and you have to also think about product and

I watched the matches and is still clear to me that Pele was the best player of the team. Jairzinho had a great tournament, but it’s silly to say he was better than Pele in that tournament because he scored in every game. Same about Rivelin

Not an idiomatic expression in Brazil. There is some cultural behavior of my parents telling me to “close my mouth” as it was an inherent bad/impolite/ugly/improper thing.
